In this new edition of his best-selling text, Brian Butterworth
explains the very latest research in the science of dyscalculia in a
clear, non-technical way. Crucially, he shows that dyscalculia is
caused by a core deficit in the ability to accurately and swiftly
represent the number of objects in a set, an ability that underpins
learning arithmetic, and clearly differentiates dyscalculia from other
forms of early mathematical learning difficulties. This new edition
includes a review of the new evidence for effective intervention,
examines new research on the role of memory, intelligence, and how
they interact with the core deficit. With new chapters on number
sense, the arithmetical brain, governmental changes around the world,
and evaluations of new interventions, this invaluable text is fully
supported with a wide selection of online useful resources and
courses. Butterworth uniquely links research to pedagogical practice,
to explain how science can be used for the identification of
dyscalculia, and for the development of strategies to best help
affected learners acquire arithmetical competence. The text provides
robust interventions that focus on helping pupils to strengthen their
ability to process numerosities and link them to the familiar number
symbols, counting words, and digits. It shows that science has clear
and specific implications both for assessment and intervention. A
landmark publication for the dyscalculia community, this second
edition of Dyscalculia: From Science to Education will become an
essential resource for teachers, professionals, parents, and
sufferers, as well as for university courses that include specific
learning disabilities.
